Wishlist Hulk

Financial fair play. This is one of the most expensive transfers in football history for a player with no success in Europe or Internationally.

I stopped reading there....

No success in Europe? Check out his honours.

He has far more than Hazard, don't see people complaining about his fee..........

Financial fair play. This is one of the most expensive transfers in football history for a player with no success in Europe or Internationally. For this kind of money, you should be getting an established star from a top level league. What bothers me (and I think other people here) is that this move was born out of RA's obsession with Hulk. Like Torres or Shevchenko, RA just wanted Hulk and was willing to over-pay for him. Does Hulk fit in with the team? I'm not sure. In Porto, he's their go-to guy. In Chelsea he's not going to touch the ball nearly as often. He doesn't fit in a 4-2-3-1 well. He's a 4-3-3 winger. He's going to play against much much tougher opposition. There are a while bunch of strikers and wingers available and instead of going out and finding the best value, he went after the player he was obsessed with. Last season, ManU got Antonion Valencia for £16 million and he had a fabulous season. It seems like there is almost no attempt by Chelsea to ever look for value. What happens now if Torres continues to falter? Well, we have no established central strikers and no money to go get one. Hulk replaces Sturridge or Ramires in the lineup depending on the system who were two of our better players. It's a signing that may turn out well, but doesn't really make any sense.

Are you taking the piss? Honestly? Or is this serious post?

As for Torres, he has played well for a while now, he needs consistency and by that I mean, playing games... and with him being our main striker, that's exactly what he will get. Besides, there wont be as much flak for him now that he has this huge 3 behind him, the goals will be more widely spread as each of them seem to fancy their chances for goal from time to time.

There is nothing more annoying than when people talk about FFP.

Yeh, because you know more about FFP than the people at the club, smh.

Don't really care how much he costs as long as the record transfer of a certain blonde striker is fresh in memory - those kinds of deals are responsible for price inflation. We, City and Real are main culprits and we're literally paying the price now.

Valencia's been with United for three years now. He was average for two years and has had only one "fabulous" season.

He's just probably just like all of us reacting to what we hear and read from the media.

I dont know where these armchair economists get their backing from? I really dont, all they see is the figures that are posted on the internet about the clubs financial standings season on season, the club aren't going to reveal everything and they dont have to, because if they did there would be 100x more posts about FFP.. It's already annoying enough as it is that these people think they know more that the people who have trained and whose job it is to deal with all of these things...

All they did was inflate mediocre English players' prices. The world doesn't give a fuck about their flops because they know they're just dumb.

We should consider bidding for Teves, a cheeky transfer that would be!

[CFCRazor 49]

I think all you people worrying about FFP would be far better off going to the liverpool boards... they have spent more on Carroll Downing and Henderson who scored how many goals between them last season? 6~ or something? than we have spent on these 2 players who, granted are not in the premier league YET, have more goals and assists per game individually.

Plus Liverpool haven't won anything, oh wait the micky mouse cup.... We won the FA Cup and the Champions League and the revenues we will get from those wins over the years will be phenomenal with more exposure = more fans = more merchandise sales / more ticket sales = more revenue.

Calm down people and leave it to the professionals (as someone above me stated)

Tevez? Oh god no! Plus plenty of better strikers out there anyway

Dont believe it before its on the official website!!

As long as he flexes those huge arms of his when he scores, groans, and does a loud scream which echoes across the stadium, I'm happy.

Judging from his tweets saying "thank you to Chelsea fans" etc, it does seem like he actually WANTS a move here.

Hope he's not a bit slow though and realises AVB is no longer here.
